The buffer protocol type only has a single member, and this existing layout
creates problems for the upcoming split/slot-index mp_obj_type_t layout
optimisations.
If we need to make the buffer protocol more sophisticated in the future
either we can rely on the mp_obj_type_t optimisations to just add
additional slots to mp_obj_type_t or re-visit the buffer protocol then.
This change is a no-op in terms of generated code.

This replaces occurences of
foo_t *foo = m_new_obj(foo_t);
foo->base.type = &foo_type;
with
foo_t *foo = mp_obj_malloc(foo_t, &foo_type);
Excludes any places where base is a sub-field or when new0/memset is used.

Now that error string compression is supported it's more important to have
consistent error string formatting (eg all lowercase English words,
consistent contractions). This commit cleans up some of the strings to
make them more consistent.
